Brand: LG
Model Number: LHSXS2706S
Main Symptom: ICE Maker

November 2023

**What happens & when: **
Craft ice maker and in-door ice maker and water. Water works fine, craft ice works fine. Door ice not functional after turning it off and later back on. **

Turned off ice inside refrig to both craft and door makers when lost a glass shelve. When turned back on, the door unit would not make ice. There was ice in it. Water and craft ice maker appear fine. Water pressure fine, not kinked. Door water fine.
I remove the ice maker (door) cleared ice, found reset. Returned it. Tried reset button but got no action as I have read I should have.**

I researched Solenoid valves. There are somehow three although the logic is a bit confusing tith filter involved, etc. Expecting (only from Google no manual found yet):
“If your refrigerator has separate solenoids for the ice maker and water dispenser, you can expect readings within a general range of 200 to 500 ohms or potentially higher, up to 1500 ohms depending on the specific design”

Ice Maker Part number AJU75632520 confirmed on LG and on sticker on part number.

#1: 72 ohms

#2 25 Ohms

#3 617 Ohms

Error Code (if any):

  1. Now the question: Is the ice maker recent button on this ice maker supposed to do it’s thing if the solenoid(s) are bad? it doesn’t

  2. Is it possible for the door solenoid only to stop working but water and craft still work

  3. Will the reset button not work with the filter light on?

Parts or tests already tried: Solenoid test, reset button (nothing happened)

The most accurate way to test a water valve is to check whether it’s actually getting voltage when the appliance calls for water. If the valve does receive proper voltage but still doesn’t allow water to flow, then the valve has failed.

Regarding the ice maker, a bad water valve won’t prevent it from running through a harvest or reset test cycle. Since yours isn’t completing that test, it points more toward a failed ice maker, not the valve.

To make sure you get the correct replacement parts, look for the product code on the appliance’s model tag, or use the part number printed directly on the original component. That’s the most reliable way to match the right parts for your specific model.
